This is also true when you’re trying to eat better or to get in shape. Running with a friend motivates me to jog further—and
faster. It always helps, too, to be on the same page when it comes to sharing meals: it’s tough to stick with a salad when
others at the table are loading up on big dishes of pasta smothered in cream sauce. (My solution: make delicious and
seemingly decadent diet-friendly
recipes that everyone will love, such as Sausage, Mushroom & Spinach Lasagna, which is
ooey-gooey delicious and has only 333 calories per slice.)
